For all of you so called “liberals” out there.

I don’t know where all the Pollacks came from but both my dad and I married Polish chicks so apparently there are a lot.

Remember, there is nothing in the constitution permitting us to go to war in Europe in the 40’s.
We could have just defended ourselves from Japan and called it a day.

Dan: Jackson Pollack was an artist. Polack is slang for someone of Polish descent.

While we did declare war on Japan following the Pearl Harbor attack, we did NOT declare war on Germany and Italy. Both Germany and Italy declared war on us, and thus we found ourselves embroiled in the European conflict, as well as the Pacific War. The rest, as they say, is history.

Dude.
You are such a bigoted douche bag.

I find it funny how you complain about Jews being anti-American as you drop your English every 3rd post.

I really don’t get that you are very American.

Yeah I am sure you have a flag on your car and worship at The Rock but you really don’t seem to get the whole diversity of opinion thing.

We are the mother-fucking homeland for lots of groups.

We have most of the worlds Irish and Jews and about half of all Mexicans.

I don’t know where all the Pollacks came from but both my dad and I married Polish chicks so apparently there are a lot.

This becomes relevant to the US as a country in the following way:

-We supported Solidarity in Poland in the 70’s and 80’s partially out of ethnic sentiment (though fighting commies was part of that).

-We supported the independence of Ireland (over the oppression of our British allies) largely out of ethnic and personal sentiment. Mind you we did that when most of Ireland (and Irish Americans) sided with the Axis powers.

-We supported a Jewish state on some god-awful real estate that we thought would go largely uncontested based on moral and ethnic sentiment. We are still paying for the stupidity in execution of that one.

-We continue to support liberal reforms in the near east as part of this sentiment.

Remember, there is nothing in the constitution permitting us to go to war in Europe in the 40’s.
We could have just defended ourselves from Japan and called it a day.

I, for one, am really glad that we allow our sentiment to guide us. We have made mistakes to be sure.
Likud, Hamas, UVF, and Sinn Fein are great examples of us not thinking through our actions.

Still I am glad we did them and that alone is a good reason to vote against Ron Paul.[/quote]

Your irrational points of view are why you hate Ron Paul and attack every blog post. We get it now. He did nothing to attack you and even suggested a better way to protect Israeli interests and you make fun of him. Good job. It is un-american to spend foreign aid. The founding fathers warned against it, it isn’t authorized by the constitution but yet the second you talk about reducing foreign aid to the whole middle east and treating everyone’s motherland the same constitutional way and giving Israel back her sovereignty you call that person an anti-Semite and call names. We get you now SK.

Regarding the helicopter ejections seats:
Actually, the term “polack” is an anglicized exonym of the Polish endonym “polak” (which is a male-gendered adjective/noun for polish or polish person). This is, mind you the language most in need of a Cyrillic alphabet and with the most weird Latin phonetics. Jackson Pollack is just a differently anglicized version (kind of like Cassidy/Cassaday/O’Caiside/O’Casedeagh). But yes, you are correct that the most common spelling of the derogatory American slur is “polack”.

However, since I was describing my wife and my step-mother, the proper endonym would be “polka” (the female version–or should that be pollcka?..hmm).

Quick side note on Polka: The mass immigration into southern texas of German (Poland was part of Germany at the time) immigrants left an indelible mark on that area. Ever wonder why there is always an accordion in Mexican music? Or why Mennonite Cheese comes from Oaxaca?

Regarding WWII:
Yeah.
They declared war on us and we could have just held back and let everyone else run out of steam before doing anything (which we sort of did).
But personal sentiment played a big role in us heading to Europe.

No.
That was me you were quoting.
I don’t think criticizing Israel or AIPAC or Netanyahu is anti-Semitic.
(Considering how many Arab Semites have died or been oppressed at their hands, I don’t think that applies at all.)
I call people who paint a group into a certain role as bigots.
Its like saying that Chinese are all in collusion to manipulate the price of real estate because I have lots of Chinese clients.
Or that gays are trying to control the future of kewl computing because all my gay friends and clients have Apple products and stylish glasses.

I think there is a very strong case to be made to cut off all funding for Israel. However, the people who make those decisions are in congress.
Both voters and lobbyists influence those decision-makers.

And I don’t hate Ron Paul at all.
I just don’t think that he is a candidate I would vote fore.
Honestly, I think he has more integrity than most politicians.
But that does not convince me that my interests are best served by him.

The Constitution is just that. It constitutes government by defining who is responsible for what kind of decision-making (eg: president-military; congress-declaration of war). It does not, by itself, make the decisions.

John Stewart (who, unlike the Rockefeller family, is Jewish) has complained multiple times about the chilling effect on public discourse with regards to debate about Israeli policies. Which is probably why I never see Alan Dershowitz on his show.

In sum:
-We disagree about Ron Paul (because you are mindless follower).
-The Congress approves foreign aid and intervention as they are allowed to do under the constitution.
-Criticism of, and debate about US policies toward Israel are not inherently Anti-Semitic.
-Your statements about Jews controlling things are bigoted. That suggests that you are bigot.
